Last Sunday was looked forward to
with apprehension by the good people 81
Chicago, as that was the day appointed
for the burial of the executed anarchists.
But although there were probably $4,000
people massed on Milwaukee avenue, from
the Des PLANES street yiaductto North
Paulina, d distance Of two miles, there
was no disorder. The entire ceremony,
was conducted with ~ muck quiet a. was
possible III 90 vast q throna. Thirty per
cent 81 those who turned out to nee the
funeral were woman and children. Nearly
all faces were German and In many eyes
there were tears as the procession moved
along. There were no manifestations OF
any bad feeling. and the twenty-five
difficulty in keeping good order md
clearing the way for the carriages
in taking up the line Of march. The march.
ing men wore either the blue orblack badge
Of the turnverein and bakers union, re-
spectively, or the more popular red and
black colors worn both in the form OF a
rosette and bow OF narrow red ribbon tied
with black Grape. There was no advance
guard Of police. Chief Marshal Charles
wore no red but simply black clothes and
Grape on their arms.
There were fifteen bands in the process.
sion each playing a dirge. The coffins OF
the dead Anarchists were covered with
flowers. There were men, there were
women, there were boys and girls on loot
and babies in arms, bands OF
music and arms full OF flowers. In
ranks OF four to eight deep they
and sweethearts, side by side.
When the five collins were once inside the
cemetery, a bell was heard tolling, but in a
quick, agitated manner that reminded
many ofthe name OF Parsons' fierce mouth
piece, the Anarchist Alarm. Tho uncanny
sound had hardly ceased when the collins
were brought to q ~standstill, and laid upon
q rude little platform iii front OF what
seemed a rough stone hut, perfectly VIM
dowless and with only one small door.
The relatives of the dead men were quick
ly gathered beside Capt. Black on the plat
form, but in the gathering darkness the on
~ features that could be discerned were the
cleaning eyes Of Parsons wife, the pale ag-
onized brow Of Nina Van Zandt, and the
eross-looking form Of Ida Friedel, Louis
Linng's' s.girl." Without any prelimi-
naries whatever Capt. Black began the first
OF the funeral orations. 1t Vas couched in
clear cut. elegant periods, but had no
more effect on the listeners than had the
inscriptions on the grave stones scattered
about.
Other spe eches, none Of a fiery character
were made, the majority of the spectators
listening in the dead silence and looking
steudtastly at the collins. Capt. Black gave
the word that the ceremonies would now be
ment showing that the collins OF the FIVE
anarchists were being carried into the
blackness within the vault.

ed by robbers and the passengers ''held up
for small amounts OF money and jewelry.
Capt. Harris, First cavalry, the militia
superintendent in charge of the park, was
upon the lack OF security under the new
management and determined to hunt out
the guilty parties. In q letter received
by the secretary Of the interior, Capt.
Harris announces the capture Of both
parties in the persons OF William James
and n Higgenbottom, lately a stage
driver himself in the park. When.
the robbery a committed the
stage was in that portion Of the
Park lying in Montana, and Capt.
Harris, in October, addressed the United
States attorney for Montana, giving the
facts in the case. He informed the attor-
ney that the guilty parties were in the
Madison valley, just beyond the park
limits, and requested him to arrest them.
No attention was paid to this, and the
Montana officers told the owner OF the
stage line that as the robbery had
been committed within the limits OF
the park they had no jurisdiction.
NJ antime parties were seen who had
heard James boasting OF his having par
ticipated in the robbery, and having in his
possession curious French coin Of the
loosa, Iowa. carried before being robbed in
the stage. Oct. 81 James was arrested
within the limits of the park and placed
Ia confinement at Mammoth Hot Springs.
